Park by a score of 9 to 5 at Alexandra Park before a large h wd. The game was a real close one and decided entirely on the er- rors made, Each team had nine gafe hits. Guiltinan and Neil, the rival pitchers, were also on equal terms, Hach gave out two walks and both had seven strike- outs. The difference came In + defensive play, where the "New- gies" had only one misplay to the visitors' seven. The feature of the game was the excellent pitching displayed by both hurlers, when "pearing down.' Nell's best display came in the seventh inning, when af- ter scoring two runs, the Times had three men on bases and none out. Neil struck out the next two batters and the next putout was made at the plate. In the fourth, Whitby's first two batters got hits and yet they failed to score a run.

Porter, and Mar- cel Rainville, Montreal, 6-4, 8-6, "Ukes" Win From Knox Ukrainians defeated Knox Church thereby winning their 3rd straight game. The game was made interesting by a double play by the Ukrainians and some clev- er fielding by Patterson for the same team. The most effective player for Knox was Tunney Morrison, who played bang up ball througaout the game. The feature of the game was the three homers collected by the Ukrainians, Two of them by Peter Hercia, the - stellar first baseman and one by 8. Shellen- Koff. The game on Monday night at Cowan's Park between the Tuxis Boys and the Ukrainians should prove interesting. The former haven't lost a game while the latter have suffered but ane de- feat.

Classet Stops Leafs with A Shutout Toyonto, June 27.--Gowell Classet, the big Montreal south- paw, who was cast adrift by Steve O'Neill after spending a few weeks in the Toronto training camp down south three years ago, gave a masterly pitching display against the Maple Leafs at the Stadium yesterday, and earned a 2 to 0 victory. He was arrayed against Johnny Allen, the Toronto right hander, who suffered his first defeat on To- ronto grounds and his second since joining 'the team a few weeks ago. The victory kept the Royals one game out of first place as the leading Newark Bears de- feated Jersey City by a similar score. Classet, whose weakness is lack of control, walked three batters in the first two innings, but on each occasion his teammates assistance with s. The Royals made four double killings in all, the most disastrous one coming in the ninth when it really ap- peared as if the Leafs were going to avert a shut-out or possibly tie the score. Classet did not ,allow a hit until Joe Harris peeled off a double ot left field in the fourth. He yielded only five in all, two coming in the ninth when the O'Neillmen made a desperate bid to pull the pastime their way. Classet did not issue a pass after the second inning his control being excellent from then on and the Toronto batters found him a puzzle whenever runners were on, which wasn't often. Allen Good Until Sixth Allen was nearly as good. He kept the Montrealers down to one hit until the sixth inning when Conlon and Gautrean singled in succession with one out.

First and second teams play best two out of three, 30.--Mike's clever play by Gerald Walker shattered the scoring chances of the. Royals on this occasion. Walker fielded Geautreau's single and, as Conlon rounded second, Walker bluffeq a throw to third. Conlon hesitated and Walker whipped the ball to Burke at second and Conlon was nipped trying to get back' to the bag. Conlon argued the decision with Umpire McCormick with the, usual futility, The pair got into a heated debate in the eighth when Conlon was again declared out at second trying to make that bag after he had singled to right. Rabbitt's throw to Burke cutting him down on a close play. The Royals did get a *'break" from Umpiré McCormick, how- ever, in the seventh and thereby scored their first run. Gulley opened the inning with a double against the right field fence. Ripple gent a fly to Rabbitt and Gulley attempted to makee third after the catch. Rabbitt made a great peg to Richardson, and the latter put the ball on Gulley from behind as the big outfielder at- tempted to slide inio the bag. But Umpire Mé¢Cormick, who on the opposite end of the play and could not see what was going on behind Gulleys' back, declared | the runner safe. Monday, July 27.--Falcons A.C, | ¥ PORT SNAPSHOT By Gro. CampeeLL, Sports Editor "Newsies" Defeat Whitby 9-5 The Times and Whitby entries in the South Ont. softball league staged a good battle at Alexandra Park last night, which was wit- nessed by a good crowd of fans, The game was very close, the the teams having the same number of hits, and the pitchers having the same number of strikeouts and walks. Errors proved the downfall of the visitors and the "Newsies" displayed their usual ability to make their hits count for runs. The base-running of the Whitby team left quite a bit to be desired and they lost many good scoring chances by "boners" on the paths, * * . * Falcons Beat Chosen Friends Chosen Friends and Falcon Ladies staged a good league game at the Stadium last night. The game was of much better calibre than usual and very exciting. The score was close, 10 to 8, and the errors were much more scarce than usual. Chosen Friends were a little late in starting or they might have brought out a victory, * *- * * Getting Ready for Olympic Games "Applications for tickets to the Olympic games at Los Angeles from July 30 to August 14, 1932, were issued yesterday by the organizing committee, The Olympic stadium reserved seat pass, admitting to 27 programs of events and designed to be kept as a souvenir, will sell for $22 to adults, Children's tickets of this class will sell for $11 when pur- chased with one or more adult tickets.

Orme Gamsby, Orono's sporting leader, and incidentally the only person around these parts who has apparently taken enough interest in baseball to foster a team this season, is thinking seriously of playing one or two of his league games in this city, Orono Ramblers, who are entered in the Lakeshore Intermediate O.B.A.A. league, started out very slowly but they have improved steadily and at the end of the first schedule look to be on a par with any club in the circuit. Orme intends to get a playoff berth by winning the second half of the schedule. Several local boys are playing for Orono and if Orme docs play a game or two here, local fans should turn out in large numbers, Baseball has a large following of ardent supporters in this city and they will all turn out to see the game, : : * * * . Minor Lacrosse League In an effort to revive the game of lacrosse around these parts, Fred Waghorne, O.A.L A. lacrosse booster, has visited Whitby and it looks very much as if the County Town will have a lacrosse team this season. Port Perry and Brooklyn organized last year and this season arg now in full swing. It is hoped that a Four-Team group can be or- ganized with teams from Port Perry, Brooklyn, Whitby and Oshawa. It is expected that Oshawa will enter a team picked from those lacrosse enthusiasts who gather at the Motor City Stadium almost every after- |. noon. The local Junior team is apt to be a little too strong for the County League, but a team made up of players, most of whom have had no O.A.L.A. experience, would be fit opposition for the other three clubs. Brooklyn will play Port Perry on Tucsday night, at Town Park, Whitby, and it is hoped and expected that a large crowd will turn out to see the game. If the crowd is favourable, it 1s mgge than likely that Whitby's entry will be certain, "a: a * * Lawn Bowling Entries Closed Monday All rinks wishing to enter in the monster tournament whith is be- ing held at the local greens, by the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club, on Wednesday, of this coming week, being Dominion Day, The local Bowling Club is well known and respected for their Dominion Day Tournament and a large entry for all events is expected. Three com- petitions will be run off, two very beautiful trophies must be won, and the members of the winming rinks wil receive fine prizes. All entries must be made to E. J. Goodman, Oshawa, on or before Monday, at 9.00 pm. The address is 240 Athol St. East, or phone 592. The com- petition will get under way at 9.30 am. on Wednesday morning, day- light saving time. * . . . Lakeshore Schedule Announced The Second HalY of the Lakeshore Intermediate baseball schedule has been announced and appears elsewhere on this page. Local fans will be able to tell what games to expect in Oshawa by looking for the Orono home dates, . * » * "Big Four" Schedule Issued The remainder of* the games of Oshawa's most popular softball league, the Stadium's "Big Four" group, is issued in today's paper. This league has gone over with a "bang" and is creating great interest among the local softball fans, Smart softball is being produced and the first two games have both been "hum-dingers." . . "Big Four" Game Monday Night, The next "Big Four" game to be played at the Motor City Stadium, will start on Monday night, at 7.15 p.m, sharp, with Robson Leather opposing Falcons. Tannery almost beat the Falcons in a 6-4 game at Cowan's park and this time they are determined to be better than close. Falcons have been training and will play their best, but Tan- nery's heavy hitters will give either Alex. Webster' or "Lefty" Wills, plenty of trouble, It should be worth while and a crowd of at least three hundred is expected. ~ get by him for a triple and a sim- ilar clout by "Chick" Fullis went for a homer, scoring the only runs of the game.

Co- PIRATES EASY FOR PHILS Philadelphia, Pa., June 27.-- Pounding the offerings of two Pittsburg Pirate pitchers to all corners of the lot, the Phillies scored a 13 to 2 triumph over Pittsburg yesterday. Watt, making his second start for the Phils, pitched steadily throughout. Grantham led the at- tack for Pittsburg with' two doubles and a triple, There were eleven doubles made in the same, the Phillies getting seven. ROBINS IS WILD Brooklyn, N.Y., June 27,--The Brooklyn Robins went on one of their biggest slugging sprees of the vear yesterday ond trounced the St. Louis Cardinals 16 to 5. Only once this season have the Brooklyn batters pounded out more runs, Fewer Errors And More Hits Enable Falcons to Win Close Decision Over Chosen Friends -- Fal- cons Hold Off Friends' Rally to Retain Lead ~ Batting completely round in the first frame and scoring four runs, Falcon Ladies scored a 10 to 8 vic- tory over the Chosen Friends last night at the Motor City Stadiym. The game was one of the closest that has ever been played in this league this season and brought out some of the best defensive playing scen here. Errors also were not as numerous as usual; only three being chalked up against Falcons and six against the Chosen Friends. Falcons after holding the Chosen Friends safe in the first innings, went in and pounded out four hits which combined with three errors allowed them to score four runs and take a commanding lead. Neither team scored in the second round but atter holding Chosen Friends for the third consecutive inning Falcons went in and got two more runs on two hits and two errors. Then as had been the case before neither team scored in the fourth; but with the arrival of the first of the fifth Chosen Friends who had been retired in one, two three order in each of the first four innings came to life and scored four runs to make Falcons early lead look much smaller, However in their hal of the fifth Falcons scored an- other run on two hits and a walk to add to their lead. The pext in- ning saw Falcons adding another run to their total to amke their lead four runs. - The disgrace of being blanked in all but one inning seem- ed to rankle with Chosen Friends so they rushed over three runs in their hali of the eighth to come within one of Falcons total, After the first batter was retired four successive hits accounted for three runs but at this stage Falcons tight- cned up and the next two batters were retired. The Falcons were not to be denied victory, however, and scored two runs in their half of the eighth to take a three run lead. Chosen Friends made a determined effort and managed to push over another run on two hits. Miss Fisher pitching for the Chosen Friends made a fine effort to win her game but the errors be- hind her played a large part in the final result. She struck out three and issued only one free ticket to first base. She was handicapped, however, by the fact that she had five balls passed, V. Elliott her pitching opponent, struck out three batters as did Miss Fisher but. is- sued three walks and had only one 'passed ball called against her. Fal- cons deserved their win as they had more hits, fifteen to be exact as compared with nine for Chosen Friends.
